The interface is visual and largely -self-explanatory; you place your ships and pick your shots by moving the -cursor around the `sea' with the rogue/hack motion keys hjklyubn. -.PP -Note that when selecting a ship to place, you must type the capital letter -(these are, after all, capital ships). During ship placement, the `r' command -may be used to ignore the current position and randomly place your currently -selected ship. The `R' command will place all remaining ships randomly. The ^L -command (form feed, ASCII 12) will force a screen redraw). -.PP -The command-line arguments control game modes. - -.nf - -b selects a `blitz' variant - -s selects a `salvo' variant - -c permits ships to be placed adjacently -.fi - -The `blitz' variant allows a side to shoot for as long as it continues to -score hits. -.PP -The `salvo' game allows a player one shot per turn for each of his/her ships -still afloat. This puts a premium scoring hits early and knocking out some -ships and also makes much harder the situation where you face a superior force -with only your PT-boat. -.PP -Normally, ships must be separated by at least one square of open water. The --c option disables this check and allows them to close-pack. -.PP -The algorithm the computer uses once it has found a ship to sink is provably -optimal. The dispersion criterion for the random-fire algorithm may not be. -.SH AUTHORS -Originally written by one Bruce Holloway in 1986. Salvo mode added by Chuck A. -DeGaul (cbosgd!cad). Visual user interface, `closepack' option, code rewrite -and manual page by Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> August 1989. |
